Calgary Translation Services: 5 Star Translation

5 Star Translation provides Calgary with translation services. Calgary is a diverse city and its multilingualism reflects the variety of cultures you can find here. While English is the primary language spoken, there’s a significant presence of other languages (The 3rd most diverse population in Canada). In fact, French is one of the most prominent second languages in Calgary, largely due to Canada’s bilingual nature. Between 2001 and 2016, Alberta saw the fastest growth in French speakers in Canada, due to interprovincial and international immigration. Alberta adopted a French Policy in 2017 to increase access to French language services in the province. In 2018, the province declared March to be Alberta Francophonie Month.

As the third-largest city with over 1.4 million people in its metro area, it leads in GDP per capita and has Canada’s highest concentration of high-tech workers.

While oil and gas remain central to its economy, Calgary’s innovation ecosystem is rapidly expanding, attracting global investment. The city’s $2.7 billion startup scene is expected to grow by 1,000 new tech companies by 2030. Since 2015, over $18.35 billion has been invested in the city, with a projected $7.5 billion allocated to digital transformation across key sectors like aerospace, agribusiness, creative industries, energy, life sciences, and logistics.
